IMPORTANT NEWS: UPX has moved to GitHub https://upx.github.io ========================

A simple Windows tool that can format USB or physical volumes to either NTFS or FAT32. It supports custom Volume names and quick formatting. Done out of boredom and curiosity for practicing purposes. The program will refuse to format the Windows partition. Because the Windows partition is not always C, the check is not hard-coded. Rather, I perform a comparison between the currently selected volume to format and the known System volume. If they match, I trip a flag.

Install, Accept, List, Remove and Set New, Current and Old linux kernels in the /boot directory. Inspired by the linux kernel "make install" target, and the /sbin/installkernel shell script. A profile "~/bootkernel.conf" or "/etc/bootkernel.conf" controls all aspects of bootkernel's behaviour - your chosen naming conventions, whether to maintain symbolic or hard links or neither, which filesystems (if any) need mounting and unmounting, and whether to delete redundant /lib/modules directories when removing the last corresponding kernel. "Install" copies kernel and other selected files to /boot, adding a ".new" extension. "Accept" moves current /boot files to ".old" extension, and moves those with ".new" to current, "List" shows all the kernels in /boot, marked as "new", "old", "current" and "executing" where applicable "Remove" deletes a specified kernel and associated files from /boot. "Set" modifies the targets of ".new" ".old" and the implicit .current links if any.
